Gator is the perfect mix of brains, athleticism, and heart! This handsome guy is incredibly smart, mastering commands like sit, stay, shake, go potty, and wait with impressive focus. But what Gator loves most? Playing fetch! He’s a true athlete, bringing the ball back every time, ready for the next throw with excitement. When it’s time to unwind, Gator is the best snuggle buddy you could ask for. Once his collar’s off, he knows it’s time to relax. He’ll lay his head on your chest or lap and snuggle in, happy to stay as long as you want. He’s a lovebug through and through. Gator is a social butterfly but is also ok being an only dog. He loves playing with dogs of all sizes. If you scratch his booty, you’ll get a joyful wiggle in return, and if he’s lounging on the couch or bed, he might even be belly-up, catching a nap without a care in the world. A gentle eater, Gator takes food politely, though he may sneak a nibble if leftovers are left unattended. Gator is protective of his food and should be fed separately from other dogs. He can get a little excited with visitors, barking initially but quickly rolling over to show his belly once they’re friends. Gator’s big heart sometimes leads him to forget his size, so a little caution with small children or the elderly is helpful. Gator cannot wait to bring his big heart into your home!
